Edelman employees enjoy "basking in the glow" of the firm's international prestige. They report that the "genuine camaraderie" that exists between their "young, hip" colleagues makes the office "a fun and social place." One insider describes the work environment at Edelman as "aggressive, no-nonsense, energetic, and fast-paced." This energy often propels young employees, who say that "if you prove yourself," there's "an incredible chance to move forward quickly."

Bad energy?
